Overview

He broke her heart chasing waves. Now he's back - injured, regretful, and determined not to lose her twice. If life had a cruel streak, it would look a lot like Miles Raider standing in my treatment room, asking me to fix the shoulder he wrecked while pursuing the surfing career he chose over me. I should refuse. I should tell him to try the mainland. I should absolutely not touch him. Especially since the muscles I memorized at seventeen are somehow bigger and stronger now. Unfortunately, I'm the only physical therapist on Smuggler's Hideaway - a tiny island where secrets sink faster than ships and everyone hears news before you do. So, no, I can't refuse him. Not unless I want to be publicly shamed at Mermaid Karaoke. Suddenly Miles is claiming he wants a second chance. After years of being back home. Years of pretending I don't exist. Now, he wants another chance? Miles can take his second chance and feed it to the sharks. Because he never stays. Not when things get messy, not when feelings get involved, and definitely not when I start remembering what it feels like to be the only girl he ever wants. But when Miles Raider turns on the charm - the focused attention, the soft apologies, the smile that says he already knows I'm going to forgive him - how am I supposed to resist the first man to teach me about love? This second chance small-town romantic comedy features a surfer who's determined to earn a second chance with the only woman he's ever loved, a woman who doesn't believe him when he says he's staying, and a band of prank-happy brothers who treat emotional growth like it's a full-contact sport.
